Memorial Plaques

Remembering a loved one: Memorial Plaques at Wakefield’s Chantry ChapelWakefield’s medieval Chantry Chapel was originally built as a place to remember and pray for those have died. This is a tradition that is being revived, and alongside our regular worship at the Chantry, an annual Eucharist is celebrated on the first Sunday in November at 4.30pm (on or around All Souls’ Day) to commemorate the departed.Together with the Dean and Chapter of Wakefield Cathedral, we have now introduced simple brass memorial plaques; these are displayed on a board in the original medieval crypt of the Chapel. A plaque can be purchased for £350, knowing that the name of your loved one will be commemorated in perpetuity, and prayed for particularly at the annual commemoration of the departed.The Chapel is not always open, but we have an increasing number of services and activities taking place there, when access to the crypt should be possible for you to view the plaque you have commissioned. Viewing can be made at other times by appointment.The price of a plaque is £350, and this money will contribute to the long-term upkeep of the Chapel.If you would like to purchase a plaque, please complete the form below, and return it The Chairman, Friends of Wakefield Chantry Chapel, 11, Lindale Mount, Wakefield WF2 0BHIf you have any questions, please contact David Royston, Friends of Wakefield Chantry Chapel: 01924 315485 dj_royston@blueyonder.co.uk (Chairman) or 01924 378349 alkendall@aol.com (Secretary)
